Introducing MIX® from DMG Lumière and Rosco – an LED fixture that will change how filmmakers create coloured light on set.

Since the dawn of coloured cinema, set lighting professionals have put Rosco gels on tungsten or daylight balanced fixtures to create coloured light. That time-honoured process has recently shifted to colour-mixing LED technology, which has its own limitations. MIX, like any fixture engineered by DMG Lumière, was designed by technicians for technicians to address the issues that set lighting crew members have voiced about the colour-mixing LED fixtures they’re working with today. The features of the new MIX®LED technology provide superior colour, easy-to-use control interfaces and other innovative solutions that enable filmmakers to create the precise colour of light they want while speeding up their workflow.

True Rosco Colour Inside

MIX®provides the best Rosco gel matches of any colour mixing LED source. Other LED lights claim to create Rosco gel matches and, in some cases, they’re successful at it. There are some colours, however, that those lights just can’t make – usually because they’re limited by the colour space of their LEDs.

MIX®features 6-LED colour mixing: Red + Lime + Green + Blue + Amber + White. This enables it to generate a wider gamut of colours than RGBW or RGBA fixtures. In addition, the Red and Lime emitters in the array are manufactured exclusively for MIX – meaning that it can create colours, tones, and hues that are only available from a MIX light. Every Rosco gel colour in the MIX®library has been authenticated by Rosco’s colour experts as a match on tungsten and daylight sources – by eye, by meter, and by camera. In addition, the MIX®control software also allows you to set the base colour temperature of the light before adding colour. Roscolux #18 Flame, for example, looks completely different on a tungsten light than it does on a daylight source. By allowing filmmakers to select the colour temperature of the MIX®before selecting the colour, the fixture provides more accurate gel matches to other fixtures on set.

Enhanced Lighting Workflow

The set lighting technicians at DMG Lumière know that speed is of the essence when you’re on set. This was the key factor when designing the user interface for MIX®. There are no menus! Simply choose between three different modes and then choose the colour temperature, colour or Rosco gel colour you desire from there.

Gel Mode:Not only are you able to select from a vast library of Rosco gel colours, you’re also able to modify the hue, saturation, and green/magenta shift of the gel colour as-needed.

Colour Mode:Navigate through the MIX®colour space using the 360° hue wheel to choose a colour and then set the intensity of the light output. MIX also offers the ability to desaturate colours toward several different color temperatures of white light to create different tones of the base hue.

Get In The MIX

Just like the original SWITCH fixtures from DMG Lumière, the MIX®will eventually be available in three sizes: MINI, SL1, and MAXI. The MINI and the SL1 MIX fixtures will be first to roll out and the MAXI MIX will be available soon after. All MIX fixtures will also be compatible with all of the popular DMG Lumière SWITCH accessories, including: The Dome, SNAPBAG, SNAPGRID and the Quickfit Handle.

MIX is the perfect combination of Rosco’s 100+ years of colour expertise + the cutting-edge LED technology from DMG Lumière. The MIX® is now available from prime UK dealer, LCA.

Be Part Of A Community With The myMIX App

The myMIX App will allow filmmakers to easily control their MIX®LED fixtures from their mobile device – and so much more! Whether you’re mixing your own colours from scratch, or modifying a Rosco gel colour you’ve chosen – you can mix the colour you need using the myMIX App. From there, you can save those colours into your own personal library of colours in the cloud to call up whenever you need them in the future.

You can also share your personal colour mixes with any friend or crew member that also has the myMIX App. This is a great way for cinematographers to share colours with 2ndunit or for gaffers to communicate colour choices with their set lighting technicians.

Have you ever seen a colour in the real world or on a location scout and wanted to recreate that colour as light on set? The myMIX App allows you to capture that colour and then send it to your MIX®LED lights. If the colour isn’t quite right – no worries. Just like any other MIX colour, you can adjust the hue, intensity, and saturation of your captured colour until it’s exactly what you need – then save it to your library.

LED technology changes quickly – and MIX®will be no exception. For example, we will be continually adding more colour temperatures, hues and Rosco gel colours to the on-board library of MIX presets. Technicians will easily be able to update the firmware of their MIX LED light using the myMIX App.
